Thanks Michael. I thought agate grey has been available all along. But am glad to see some 2-tone finishes available in the "package" rather than just the "interior" leather; and very glad to see confirmation that agate/pebble will be available as shown in brochure. And I'm especially glad to see these being available for early Sept builds!

Agate/Pebble will be a great combination...

We just received some Macan color samples from Porsche yesterday. I took some pics of Palladium alongside other well-known P colors for comparison. Wanted to take them in different light, including direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, cloudlight, shadow... Hope this helps!
Here's a collage of about 15 pics of Palladium Metallic. You can see the incredible variety of colors based on the angle and lighting. All pictures were taken with my Nikon D5100, set to Standard exposure (not Vivid/Landscape), with manual aperture and shutter based on lighting.
Common P colors, with sun in front (top) and behind (bottom).
Different degrees of sunlight (note the shadows). Use Guards Red as a reference; I feel the third palette is most accurate.

Makes sense. I believe jet black metallic is just black with some metallic for more punch in sunlight. I figure if I got a black car, it would be non-metallic. They both require more work to keep looking nice compared to lighter colored cars, but pure black is easier than metallic to touch up if necessary.

Off today out and about so I made the drive over. I compared the Black and Metallic black under different lighting, both indoors and out and for me I preferred the Black over the Metallic. But in both cases looking at the colors after the film of a recent rain, you have to really love Black IMO to go with that color. Really impressed with Agate. Liked the dark blue but it wasn't dark enough for me.

The final thing I noticed is the Black really works well on the Cayenne which on a larger vehicle really tidy's it up. On the Cayenne for me no question regular Black, blacked out exterior. Where as on the smaller vehicles the Agate seemed to open them up a little.
It's interesting because I wasn't even thinking about colors I was just going to get black and be done with it. But then when you do start to look at it, the subtleties are so much about individual preference. Interesting to explore.
I really need to see the Black and Agate on a Macan in person. It won't take me a minute to decide. They're saying late May for the launch event.
